Just one week ago I was at home watching a late night show with David Letterman hosting. On the show Herman Cain was the guest and was being asked all sorts of questions about his campaign. After much banter and fun finally one of the main questions came up. Letterman said "Herman are you really in this for good or is this another Donald Trump show." Meaning are you really going to stick with this presidency or do you just think this is fun and you want to become a celebrity of sorts. Herman Cain responded by saying that whatever he enters he does it for good and doesn't not quit.
Well today Saturday the 3 of December Herman Cain came out and said that he is officially calling it quits on his campaign. He said he will be suspending his Presidential campaign due to the emotional toll it is taking on him and his family. He says that all of these accusations about him sexually harassing women, and then having a thirteen year affair with another women is simply not true. It is too detrimental to his image and popularity that he has chosen to remove himself from the race and still work on getting his ideas through in politics just in a different manner. He says he is not quitting because he is weak or can't do it and that he will continue to be a major force in politics.
I think that many people saw this coming when they realized the controversy that Herman Cain was caught up in. Eventually it catches up with you and there is just no way out. It was time that he took a seat, now that he created his stir in politics and had his time in the lime light, even being at the top of the polls for a short time there. We will always appreciate Cain for the way he brought up topics of importance and his straightforward answers, however I think it is best that he has left the race.
